People who play antiques are interested, so naturally they will not wait any longer. Therefore, Fang Ming and Li Hua immediately got in the car and left directly, as for Annie, she naturally followed Fang Ming.

A hundred kilometers away is not too far, and Li Hua is an old horse, so he arrived quickly.

After getting out of the car, Fang Ming looked up and found that the place Li Hua said was actually a larger bazaar, although he hadn't walked in to see it yet, he immediately felt that this place actually had to be a "grocery store." ”

"Mr. Fang, this place was actually a waste treatment plant, which means that the dilapidated things of the whole city will be collected here and then sorted and disposed of. Naturally, old things will inevitably be reused, so I don't know when some people picked out some things that could still be used and put them on sale, and as time passed, the market here became bigger and bigger. In recent years, some people have seen a business opportunity here, so they have invested in a transformation into a place specializing in selling all kinds of used goods. ”

"Let's put it this way, you can find everything you can imagine, everything from everyday necessities such as televisions to old cars. Of course, there are many antiques or works of art that are related to us, such as oil paintings. As for the porcelain street where I usually come here, there are a lot of dilapidated porcelain, I just go there to see if there are any good things, Mr. Fang, the one you saw just now is the one I found here. ”

While walking inside, Li Hua whispered to Fang Ming about the situation here.

"Heh, it seems that there were no antiques from our Huaxia here at the beginning, right?"

Fang Ming basically understood how this place came to be. As for this idea, it is because this is not a domestic country after all, and under normal circumstances, it will not form such a place that specializes in selling all kinds of award porcelain, and the biggest possibility is that someone has seen the business opportunities here, and I have my own set of business, so I opened a store here, and slowly more and more, and finally formed a pattern of "one street".

"Yes, that's right, it's true, I've lived here for many years, and I'm very familiar with the situation here, and it's true that such a street hasn't been formed for too long."

Speaking of this, Li Hua paused for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, and said: "In recent years, with the strength of our country, everything in Huaxia has aroused the interest of foreigners, of course, including our porcelain, to say old

Let's be honest, what do most foreigners do about something as sophisticated as porcelain? They will buy it just because it looks good, so in fact, there is a very good market for craft porcelain here, and those people will buy it back as decorations. It is precisely because of this demand that there will be such a place here, of course, there are some foreigners who are masters, or they are not very interested in modern porcelain, and they also want to put a few old things in their own homes, so there are a lot of dilapidated things here. ”

Fang Ming also showed a smile on his face, the so-called shabby things are actually old, to put it bluntly, they are old, in a long time, Huaxia has already developed countless methods of old-fashioned, and even more Qinghai said that now is the high-tech era, there are many more methods, and at the same time, the deception is even greater, not to mention those foreigners who know the fur, even if they are masters who have studied antiques for many years, they will often be eye-catching!

Li Hua's most familiar place here is, of course, the so-called porcelain street, so he went directly

Take Fang Ming there.

The so-called "one street" is actually similar to Li Hua's shop before, that is, a place of about 100 meters, but unlike traditional antique shops, it is a warehouse-style here.

On both sides of the street are four-story buildings, and then they are divided into warehouses of several hundred square meters, and when you walk in, you can find that the floor is full of large shelves, on which a lot of porcelain is placed, the big ones are one person high, the small ones are the size of fists, and even more are directly stacked on the ground.

Warehouse, this is a very typical warehouse, the difference is only that the goods are all kinds of porcelain.

"Hah! Mr. Fang, it's the first time you've come to such a place, right? ”

Seeing the surprised expression on Fang Ming's face, Li Hua couldn't help but be happy.

"Yes, it's really the first time I've been to a place like this."

Fang Ming really came to such a place for the first time, "You also know that in the last twenty or thirty years, because of the development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, antiques are really hot, and now it is indeed the era of the so-called 'prosperous antiques'." Therefore, everything that is related to antiques is very hot, not to mention porcelain. ”

Fang Ming pointed to the porcelain stacked on the ground in front of him, and then said: "These things, if they are in China, they are all very precious, they are all to be placed on the stalls of antique shops, at least on small stalls, how can it be such a bunch of unsightly crowded on the shelves or on the floor?" ”

Although Li Hua lives abroad, he is a person in the circle after all, so he still knows the domestic situation very well, nodded at the moment, and said: "Yes, you are right, it is indeed the case, so in fact, in the foreign collection industry, there is still a certain space, at least the chance of encountering good things is relatively large, but this has to look at the vision." ”

"Well, by the way, Boss Li, let me ask a question, how did so many porcelains here come from? It can't be from China, right? ”

The large and small porcelain in front of me is roughly estimated to be two or three thousand pieces, and this is only one of the "warehouses", and it is estimated that there must be ten or eight such warehouses here, which adds up to an incredible number. With such a large amount of porcelain, Fang Ming was very curious about where it came from.

From within the country?

This possibility is not too great, because this will lead to a great increase in costs, after all, most of the porcelain here is not of much value, belongs to modern, imitation, old and the like, in this case, it is indeed not easy to cross the ocean.

"I've inquired about this issue and talked to the bosses here, and basically they collect it from all over the world."

"Oh? Collected from all over the world? ”

Fang Ming showed a puzzled expression on his face, and said: "As far as I know, porcelain can be produced in our Huaxia or only in the East, the West does not say that there are none, but if there are many, it is impossible, after all, this can be said to be our specialty." ”

Nodding, Li Hua said, "That's right, it's true." However, this is not to say that there is no porcelain in the West, of course, there are not many porcelain that is really produced locally, and the quality cannot be compared with our country. So the porcelain here is more from our country. There are three main sources, one is the porcelain that was brought to the West with the trade between the East and the West for a long time, you know, from hundreds of years or even thousands of years, our country and the West have been traded, porcelain is one of the very important items; Second, since ancient times, we have had a lot of people who have emigrated overseas, whether for daily necessities or for other reasons, they have brought with them a large amount of porcelain, and in this way, they have slowly accumulated more and more; Third, there is another reason, that is, the war, a hundred years ago, our country was greatly damaged, and many things were plundered, including antiques such as porcelain, which flowed out of the market for many years. These things, under the collection of people with intentions, are naturally concentrated, so there are these porcelains we see now. ”

Fang Ming thought about it and found that it was really like this. There are naturally a lot of porcelain or other antiques that have been accumulated for various reasons over the past thousands of years. Of course, more of them may not have much value, after all, there are relatively few good things in this world. “

Among the three reasons mentioned by Li Hua, if we talk about fine products, the main ones are that there are two defeats, one is the porcelain in the trade between the East and the West, because such porcelain is to be "exported", the quality is very good, and the second is the antiques that were plundered in those wars a hundred years ago.

"It seems that there is still a possibility that something good will appear here."

Fang Ming looked at the porcelain in front of him, wondering if he could have such good luck.

"Well, yes, that's right, it's true that you can find some good things, and I've found them here, including the one you saw, but most of the things here are very ordinary, and it depends on your personal eye."

Li Hua has been here a lot of times, and he is very clear about everything here, so he naturally has the most right to speak.

This is actually not surprising at all, after all, there are thousands of pieces of porcelain here, and they are stacked in a mess, and it is really not easy to find good ones.

"Looks like we're going to hurry."

Fang Ming laughed, for many people, finding good things in so many antiques is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it is definitely very difficult, but for him, this is not a problem at all
